“Ain’t no party like a Backstreet party… especially at Sphere,” BSB shared via Instagram.
After doing a bit of digging, our team found that the chart-topping fivesome typically perform approximately 25 songs per Sphere show.
That includes the “Millennium” album in full, although not necessarily in order, based on our findings at Set List FM.
Other fan favorites that often get airplay at their live show include unimpeachable smash hits like “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” “The Call,” “More Than That” and “As Long as You Love Me.”
Yet, what makes this ‘Millennium’ concept show so special are the, ahem, “Larger Than Life” imagery that accompanies the music.
“The visuals are state-of-the-art: think space station fly-ins, immersive temperature and wind shifts, endless stars, and an actual moving platform that lifts the Boys into the galaxy for ‘I Want It That Way,’” 95.7 Ben FM noted in a July 2025 review.
“Everywhere you look, the Sphere’s 170 million pixels breathe new life into every era of their career. It’s easily the most cinematic, futuristic live show I’ve ever seen.”

Backstreet Boys new music
On Feb. 14, 2025, Backstreet Boys released the single “Hey.”
The emotionally-charged track was originally written for the band’s 2019 album “DNA” but ultimately didn’t fit in with the album.
“We wanted to hold on to it and [then] this announcement happened, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what better way to present a brand-new song?’ So it turned out perfect,” Brian Littrell shared with The Today Show.
If you’d like to hear the guys’ latest heartbreaking bop, you can find “Hey” here.
Completists may want to check out the “Paw Patrol” trailer as well; the teaser features BSB’s new single “Bottle Up.”
